The Rescue of Abu Hamid 


A Three Months Serial. 


CHAPTER I. 


CROSS the vast sandy desert of Sahara, Arabian horsemen 
dashed to the tents of their chieftains with the wild news 
that Montenegro had declared war on Turkey, and imme- 
diately all the allied tribes gathered their forces and flocked 


to the support of the Crescent. 


But the declaration of war was not the only alarming 
news that the tribesmen were destined to hear, for only ten hours after the 
news of the declaration arrived, word came that Montenegrin troops under 
the leadership of Prince Lamore were approaching. The Arabs always ready 
for strife were soon well armed and mounted for the encounter. They rode 
about in great circles, scanning the horizon far and wide for a glimpse of the 
enemy. They did not have to wait long, however, for soon a long line of 
creatures about the size of ants appeared in the distance, and continually 
grew larger until mounted soldiers were plainly discernable. 

The Shiek of the tribe, attired in purple and gold with a jeweled scimi- 
tar dangling at his side, carrying a long desert rifle in his hand, and mounted 
‘on a snow-white charger, rode out before his men and made a speech, urging 
‘that they should be brave and conquer or perish like heroes on the field of 
battle. He referred to the traditions of their clan, to the sacred oath that 
every Arab takes to defend his tribe and the Mohammedan faith, and ex- 
horted them not to suffer a foreign power to encroach upon the heritage of 
themselves and their forefathers who had never known a master. 

His speech concluded with that grand climax characteristic of the flowery 
Eastern languages, and it required no experienced eye to see that the leader's 
Speech had succeeded in arousing the spirits of his men, for the desert horse- 
men rode about restlessly, with their eyes flashing desperate hatred toward 
the approaching enemy, their breath coming in heavy draughts, and their 
whole aspect showing that they were determined to win or die. The chief's 


words had found hearty approval in the breasts of all but two, and these two 


91 


STUDENT = LANTERN 


stood apart from their tribesmen engaged in what would probably be their 
last confession of love and regard. The trumpet sounded for the troopers to 
form battle-line, and Abu Hamid turning his charger about bade a tender 
good-bye to his lady love. 

The enemy were now in plain view. mounted on the shaggy little moun- 
tain ponies that are native to Montenegro, the riders dressed in their halí- 
European, half-Oriental garb, with their short, heavy carbines carried in the 
hand, presented a striking contrast to the fierce sons of Tartar, mounted on 
their tall, stately, sleek horses, and carrying their long desert rifles across the 
pommel of their saddles, 

The women and children took refuge at a safe distance, and the battle 
opened with a single volley from either side, then the shooting was over. 
The two lines charged each other with the ferocity of Indian tigers using the 
sword as the only weapon of attack and defense. For one-half hour they rode 
and cut and hacked and thrust at one another. The horses reared and plunged 
in and out of the fierce whirl of sand and struggling men; and many a rider 
was seen to topple headlong or headless from his saddle. Long the victory 
hung in suspense, but at last the brave Arabs began to lose ground and to fall 
back. But they fought like demons, and in spite of the fact that they were 
being cut down one by one, they continued to charge, апа fight and shout 
with all their might. 

But fate was against them, and finally they were either cut down or taken 
prisoners almost to a man. As the battle proceeded, the lady-love of Abu 
Hamid in spite of her feminine heart was impelled to approach the dreadful 
scene to see how her lover fared. No sooner had she approached close enough 
to distinguish him among the fighters than her heart sank within her to see 
him unhorsed by a sword stroke, which although intended for him fell upon 
the head of his horse, killing the animal and toppling the rider on to the 
ground, where he was pounced upon by several Montenegrins, who tied his 
wrists with a sash and led him away as prisoner of war. 

The poor girl, mortified by the sight, turned away sobbing. She retired 
to a safe distance and devoted herself to thinking out plans how her lover 
might be rescued. The battle now over, night settled upon the Sahara with 
all the suddenness and beauty of its coming in the tropics. The moon was 
full, and the tiny stars winked vexingly down at the distressed maiden, Softly 
she stole from the presence of her bereaved tribesmen who, although not 
bound in chains, were nevertheless beyond all hope of escape or rescue. How 
she wished she might restore them and herself to freedom; but in her sensi- 


92 


CID ENT LANTERN 


ble little heart she realized in pity that the rescue of all of them was not à 
thing to be dreamed of, even in her most ambitious moments, so she musi 
content herself with attempting to effect the escape of only Abu and herself 
and leave the rest to their fate. 

Outside of the prisoners’ tent a few guards might be seen patroling the 
encampment grounds. How hideous they looked with their long night cloaks 
and drawn sabers, moving like the dread ogres of Eastern mythology, with- 
out sound or shadow ! | 

The lady-love of Abu Hamid stood at the corner of the prisoners’ tent 
watching the silent approach of one of these monsters. Presently he was 
opposite her,—a flash of steel, a heavy thud, and the guard lay dead at her 
feet. She pushed out the side of the tent so that it covered the prostrate body, 
then wrapping herself in the dead soldier's long cloak and taking his saber in 
her hand moved slowly toward the tent under which Abu lay prisoner. The 
deception was complete, she entered the tent without arousing the slightest 
suspicion. Abu found the sash about his wrists was quickly cut. Just at that 
moment a second guard stepped warily in the tent,—a flashing stab, another, 
and yet another, then all was silent —Abu assumed the dress and manner of 
this guard just as his sweetheart had done previously. "Together the pair. 
walked from the tent, mute and sentinel-like. A circuitous course they pur- 
sued to where their tribesmen had kept their best horses, and which their 
“conquerors had neglected to seize until morning, knowing perfectly well that 
nothing could effect the escape of them or their owners previous to that time. 
The couple selected the fastest horse from the corral, one which had once 
` been the property of their noble Sheik, now numbered among the martyrs of 
the battle-field. With a parting glance over the scene of their misfortunes 
they sprang to the saddle and dashed away toward the sea-coast and out of 
the hostile country.

Miss Brooke's Guest 


HE young man who was industriously cleaning a gun on the back 


veranda, lifted his head and listened. What was going on; what did 


the strange noise and commotion mean? Не hastily wiped his hands 
on the woman's apron he was wearing and went around to the front. 

“Oh—you are the hired man, I suppose,” the young lady remarked, "Will 
you help the man bring in my trunks? Which room am I to have? Is Miss 
Brooke at home?" 

The young man was indeed amazed. This had meant nothing to him. 
The only thing he could stammer out was, "Miss Brooke is not at home,” 

He made his escape as soon as possible. He wanted to think about this 
strange happening. She hadn't been bad-looking after all. She wore a stylish 
little black hat and the blue waist and skirt made her outfit complete. She 
was a trifle pale, which her fluffy dark hair brought out. She had very long 
eye-lashes which partly hid her violet-blue eyes. 

"Dear me," the young lady was speaking, “I hope Miss Brooke will be 
home soon. | am nearly starved, or perhaps you are able to cook," as her 
еуез lit on the "hired man." 

"Y-yes, I can cook a little." 

His hands had been dirty, and she remarked, “I hope vou wash your 
hands when you work." 

"Well, yes, certainly," he replied. 

In the middle of the substantial meal to which Miss Lawrence was doing 
full justice, she was left alone. The "hired man" went out and forcibly seized 
an elderly lady, coming up the path, by the shoulders. А whispered consulta- 
tion followed, which must have ended in the young man's favor, for the lady 
was hugged tightly, and she, in turn, gave him a slap on the shoulder for his 
pertness. 

Miss Brooke now entered the dining room. 

"Oh, Miss Brooke, how do you do? I arrived a short time ago and was 
nearly starved, so I put your ‘hired man' into use. The meal he prepared is 
certainly good. He can cook very well, indeed. Is that a lake over there? 
lt seems to me you said something about a lake in your letter, did you not? 
I am so glad to be here, now I can have a thorough rest." 

"Yes, it is pleasant here," acquiesced Miss Brooke. “There is a good- 


sized lake about three-quarters of a mile from here."

STUDENT : LANTERN 


“May I take your ‘hired man’ on a tramp tomorrow?” questioned the 
visitor. "I shall have so much to lug." 

“Oh, ves, indeed. He will be at your command any time you wish him." 

The next day, Dick, the "hired man," certainly proved a help. He baited 
her hook and helped her to catch the only fish she ever caught, and then threw 
it back because she wished it. He walked unobtrusively behind her, carrying 
her kodak, pillows, fishing tackle and sketch-book. ‘These trips continued. 
Nearly every day, Miss Lawrence went on a tour of observation. In the third 
week, the color began to creep back into her face and she seemed much 
happier. 

One day they were sitting idly in a boat on the other side of the lake. 
It was a typical summer day; the air was warm, and the sun-light falling in 
splatches among the trees, would have fully delighted an artist. The pines 
lent a sweet fragrance to the air. It was just a day to inspire confidences, 
and.this is just what Miss Betty thought. Miss Brooke was entirely out of 
the question, but why not to Dick. He was a born gentleman, although he 
was in the garb of a "hired man." 

"Have you always been in this position?" she asked. "You speak so 
fluently and you know so much more about books and things than | do." 

"Well, last summer, I was on Judge Harvey's farm. The summer be- 
fore I—" 

"Oh, you know that isn't what I mean. Have you always been a 'hired 
man?” 

"No, not always; but," lowering his head to hide the twinkling eyes and 
smiling mouth, “financial conditions are sometimes such that we are obliged 
to seek any employment we can get." 

“Do you always do what people expect you to do?” He was not given 
time to answer. “I very seldom do. I live with my aunt, Mrs. Van Patrick: 
perhaps you have heard of her. She is very wealthy. My father is almost 
always away on business so that I see very little of him. 1 had my ‘coming 
out’ party last fall, and ever since then I haven't had a minute's peace; it has 
been one continual round of parties, dinners, receptions and all sorts of social 
events. Every voung man that would call or come to a reception or tea at my 
home would be discussed as to whether he would make a suitable husband 
for me. I am sick and tired of it. My aunt thinks she can do anything she 
wants to with me; that I am merely clay in her hands. | am here now, be- 
cause I have run away from a young man who is coming as a guest of father's, 


some time this summer." 


95 


STUDENT = LANTERN 


The reply rather startled her. “Well, Miss Lawrence, I think I shall tell 
you of the mistake you have made. You came to the wrong Miss Brooke. 
The Miss Brooke to whom vou were evidently going, lives down the road a 
half mile or so." 

This was received with a frigid look, 

"Will you please row back to the other side. I think you might have 
told me before. I shall go home at once." 

The man picked up the oars and under his direction the boat was soon 
at the landing and he was helping the young lady out. 

"Yes, my dear," was what Miss Brooke said when Betty came up to 
apologize, "but vou didn't give me a chance to explain so that I thought I 
would let you stay. You have been company for me and besides you look 
much better than when I first saw you. Good-bye, my dear, I am very glad 
to know you." 

* E E Ж * * 

One night, about one month after Betty had left Miss Brooke's pleasant 
summer home, she was in her ber-room dressing for dinner. 

“I certainly had a good time. Miss Brooke was a dear not to tell me, but 
to let me stay. I can remember ordering the “hired man" to get me some- 
thing to eat. I don't believe anything ever tasted so good before. 1 wonder 
if that nice-looking young man is still there. He certainly is above his 
station." 

She was dressed in a simply-made, white crépe dé chine gown, with a 
small bouquet of red roses at her waist. She looked very sweet, indeed. 

"I wish I were going to be alone with father tonight, but that horrid 
guest of his is to be here. And to think that I ran away to get out of meeting 
him, and now I have to help entertain him after all. Oh, well, ГЇЇ just have to 
go through with it." 

She ran lightly down the handsome oak staircase and entered the library, 
an old-fashioned room, three sides of which were completely filled with books, 
and to her surprise, she found her father waiting for her, but the shaded lamp 
did not disclose the presence of the other occupant of the room. 

“I didn't expect vou so soon, father," she said. 

"No, my dear, I didn't expect to get here so soon, either. Dick, come 
here and meet my daughter. Why, have you met before? You sly pair, you. 
Why didn't you tell me you were acquainted?" remonstrated Mr. Lawrence, 
but there was a gleam of fun in his eye. 


The young man was smiling broadly while Betty blushed prettily.

“Then you were not really the ‘hired man'?" she questioned. 
"No: I was staying with my aunt for the summer. I recognized you at 
once as the daughter of the man to whom I was to bring a letter of introduc- 
tion. | had seen you from a distance one time with your father, so | knew I 
was right. I thought I would have some fun, and I assure you, I did.” 
Betty's face became still redder as she thought of their last talk in the 
boat. 
"What will he think of me," she thought, but her thoughts were expelled 
by her father's words and the entrance of her aunt. 
{ "Dick 


We were boys together, 


"Well, we are getting on famously," commented Mr. Lawrence.

but somehow or other, I lost track of him when I came East. Dick, my boy, 
you must stay and make us a visit, Now, ГЇЇ not take ‘no’ for an answer. 1 
tell you the thing is settled. Here is Berton to announce dinner," so that the 
conversation ended for the time being. 

Dick did stay, and he and Betty became fine friends. 


One year later, Mr. Lawrence was glad to welcome him as a son-in-law 


and later as junior partner in his law firm.

The old year has quietly slipped 
by and a new one is at hand; the 
time for resolutions is here. And 
while we realize that in the major- 
ity of cases New Year's resolutions 
are made with the best of inten- 
tions, yet we are also well aware of 
the fact that by February first the 
most of them have been already 
broken, while the few remaining 
ones are badly shattered. 

So it is with the most of us. In 
September we came back to school 
determined not to lose a single va- 
cant hour, to break off all connec- 
tions with Fh's and P's. But now, 
as we look back at the brief four 
months' space, how many of us have 
broken our New School Year's res- 
olutions? 

Too many; far too many. Апа 
yet we still have a chance. If we 
have not gotten all we could out of 
the first four months, is that any 
reason. why we should not take full 


advantage of the remaining six? 


STUDENT : LANTERN 


Let us forget the follies of the past, 
and make all we can of the present, 
‘ which is here, and of the future, 
which is before us. Let us deter- 
mine to pass every study, follow up 
the determination with an honest 
effort, and we will find ourselves 
agreeably surprised with the result.

Junior Honor Roll. 

The Junior Honor Roll, which 
was made public at chapel on Wed- 
nesday, January ith, brought forth 
irom the rest of the school queries 
as to whether or not the honor 
gained was great enough to pay for 
the study put in. In brief, it was 
asked, "Is the game worth the can- 
dle?" 

It certainly is. First, there is a 
certain satisfaction in knowledge of 
superiority that can be gained from 
no other source. And then, there is 
the character building attendant 
upon the winning of a place on the 
Junior honor roll. The girl or boy 
who can compel himself to stay 
home and do his duty to his lessons 
when he would much rather be en- 
joying himself at the theater or 
some other place, has added to his 
assets the great treasure of self-con- 
trol. He acquires also a quicker

To the Students of the Saginaw 
High School. 
By an Alumnus. 
It has been quite a number. of 
years since 1 left the protecting 


walls of Old Saginaw High, but it 


is always a source of the greatest 


pleasure to me to meet one of my 
old school or class-mates, to talk 
over old times and, believe me, vou 
will all be surprised to find how 
much loyalty you will all have in 
after years—also to meet any of you 
younger people has practically the 
same effect. And herein lies the 
tale. 

While walking down Genesee 
avenue yesterday there happened to 
be a couple of High school fellows 
just ahead of me—they were dis- 
cussing a recent game our school 
team had played — walking up ! 
tapped one of them on the back and 
asked him to tell me who was on 
the team this year. He started to 
tell me, but was forced to ask one

out of its six games. If I happened 
to ask them what they thought of 
that. "Oh, I don't know," or some-

And now, in closing, my point is

members of the athletic teams feel 
that it is an honor to represent Old 
Saginaw High. No school team has 
ever succeeded yet that did not have 
the student body behind them, so 
if we are to have athletics at all in 
our school, let's have the kind of 
teams we used to have and have it 
so that when our teams win honors 
the student body will have sup- 
ported them so loyally that the 


team's joys and honors will be

Dec. 5-12—The program consisted of a thorough and very enlightening 
discussion of the history of the Panama canal, by Hugo P. Geisler. Mr. Geis- 
ler detailed the story of the Panama canal from its very inception, starting 
with the discovery of the isthmus and the first idea of the construction of a 
canal at this point, and taking down to the present time. lle showed how 
this feat of engineering, the greatest in the history of the world, has been per- 
formed by American ingenuity, American brains, American workmanship, 
and American grit, after other nations had been forced to give up the attempt. 
The French engineer, De Lesseps, has claimed that the only reason why the 
Americans were successful and the French unsuccessful was that the Amer- 
icans had the advantage of more modern machinery. Mr. Geisler, in his 
speech, however, proved the fallacy of this statement by showing that the 
Americans even used a good deal of the machinery that the French had aban- 
doned when they left. The entire credit for this great enterprise must go to 
Colonel George W. Goethals and his band of American foremen, Mr. Geisler 
stated, in the conclusion of one of the best papers that was ever given before 
the Lyceum, | i б 

Dec. 19—Mr. Gilbert Brooks’ speech on the Volturno disaster constituted 
the program for this meeting. In his very entertaining style, Mr. Brooks 
gave Lyceum the facts of the case. It seemed that the fire started from an 
unknown cause. The cargo carried was a very inflammable one, which also 
increased the danger. The value of the wireless was again demonstrated, 
several rescue ships being summoned by this means. When they had arrived, 
however, they could give no assistance because of the high sea that was rag- 
ing, which prevented the launching of the lifeboats. A call for an oil-ship 
was then sent out and was responded to by a near-by oil ship. By means of 
the oil the water was calmed and the passengers were rescued. Аз a preven- 
tive of such disasters, Mr. Brooks urged the government censorship of car- 
goes, stating that the cargo was far too inflammable for safety, and а more 


efficient fire-fighting equipment. As a matter of interest, Mr, Brooks stated 


105

that the cargo contained two carloads of furniture from the Fiege Desk Co. 
of Saginaw. 
Dec. 26 - Jan. 2—No meetings on account of vacation, 


Jan. 9—Mr. Rufus Loveland entertained the Lyceum with a dissertation 
on the subject, "Should star ball players be allowed to write up World Series 
games?" The only point in favor of this, Mr. Loveland stated, is that the 
players know more about the subject than anybody else. However, he was 
of the opinion that the players are paid enough for playing to enable them to 
get along without intruding into the realm of the sport writer. He also stated 
that the most of the write-ups alleged to have been written by players are 
fakes, being written by sport writers over the signatures of the players.

The eighth annual Football Hop was given on Friday evening, December 
19th, in the banquet hall of the Auditorium. About 108 couples attended, 
making the party financially as well as socially successful. The One-Step 
and Hesitation were given a thorough test and came through with colors 
flying. Mr. Alfred Shearer of Bay City acted as censor and floor committee 
to the satisfaction of all. : 

The programs were arranged in four quarters, with intermission after 
the end of the first half. The dances were named after the members of the 
first team and substitutes. The dancing continued from eight till twelve 
o'clock, the music, which was exceptionally fine, being furnished by Amsdens. 
The patronesses were Mrs. W. W. Warner, Mrs. E. C. Warriner, Mrs. J. W. 
Mitchell, Miss Lutes, Miss Pelletier, and Miss Moiles. 

Owing to the success of the football men's dance, the Junior class has 
gone ahead with plans for the annual Junior Hop. It is expected that this 
party, the big event of the High school season, will be held some time in Feb- 


ruary and at the banquet hall of the Auditorium, 


FOOTBALL BANQUET. 


On Wednesday evening, December 10th, Superintendent E. C. Warriner 
banquetted the men who represented Saginaw on the football field during 
the season. The banquet was held in the dining room of the Manual Train- 
ing building, and was greatly enjoyed by the football men, who here desire to 
express their thanks to Mr. Warriner and to the girls who helped in the 


serving.

The program was an excellent one. The speakers gave very encourag- 
ing speeches and the music and singing by Harry Goseline and Fred Carlisle 
was very fine indeed. Harry was the fun-maker of the evening, always being 
the subject or originator of some good joke or story. Mr. Frank Bastian gave 
an interesting talk on football when he was in High school, and also added 
that as president of the Board of Education, he would endeavor to have ath- 
letics placed upon a higher level in High school. Captain Jack Runchey gave 
a short talk on the season and expressed his thankfulness as being captain of 
such a fine bunch of fellows. Mr. Hollenbeck gave a very interesting talk on 
his experiences in football. Mr. Dreier then read an excellent paper on the 
subject of proper training for athletics. Mr. Gorman followed with a talk on 
football in general. Mr. Jacklin reviewed the season in a very interesting 
manner. Mr. Warriner, the toastmaster, then gave one of his short and con- 
cise talks about his rising enthusiasm over High school football. The pro- 
gram concluded with nine 'rahs for Mr. E. C. Warriner.

The photo-drama of “Quo Vadis" will be presented February 18, 19, 20, 
at the Academy. This play is creating a great deal of discussion and com- 
ment all over the country, but whatever deviations from the truth occur, the 
responsibility lies with the author of the novel. In the burning of Rome, the 
Kleine photo-drama holds Nero as being directly responsible, who tries to 
shift the blame upon the Christians. Historians differ as to the causes of this 
cónflagration, many attributing it to natural accident. "Quo Vadis" is filled 
with many interesting features and will be especially attractive to readers 
and students of history. 

The famous Lyman Howe motion pictures will be seen at the Auditorium 


the latter part of February, featuring ‘the Panama canal.

Fifth Annual Reunion. 


The fifth annual reunion of the Saginaw High School Alumni Associa- 
tion was held on Saturday night, December 27, 1913. The place this year 
was changed to the High school assembly room, so that it would seem to the 
old grads more like getting back to the dear old school. The attendance was 
very good, about three hundred being present. After an unavoidable delay 
of thirty minutes, the program started at about 8:30 p.m. The program was 
an excellent one, being as follows:

On Monday, December 8, 1913, the Board of Control awarded football 
letters to the following fourteen men: Albert Baumgarten, Charles’ Burk- 
holder, Harold Eagan, William French, John Hall, Don Hanaford, Jack Hum- 
phrey, Don McGee, Harold Polson, Earl Raymond, Gordon Rice, John Run- 
chey, Lynd Walkling and George Winkler. At the same time, Don McGee, 
our diminutive quarterback, was elected captain for next year. McGee is a 
Junior, but was picked by Frank Picard as the best quarter in the Valley. 
He will have back next year only one other "S" man, Jack Huhphrey, and 
Alex Sheldon, who would have won his letter had it not been for an unfor- 
tunate injury sustained early in the season. The school has much faith in 
his leadership, however, and expects to see him bring to Saginaw next year 


the football championship of the Valley. 
Saginaw, 30; Alumni, 24. 


The truth of the statement, “Youth must be served," was again demon- 
strated in the High School-Alumni basketball game. The old-timers started 
out strong at the beginning of each half, and left the High School in the rear. 
But the wind and staying powers of the Alumni soon left them and the under- 
grads, coming up from behind, caught and passed the old-timers. 

The first score of the game was made by Steckert, of the Alumni, who 
located the basket after eight minutes of furious playing. McCorkle tied up 
the count for the High School by tossing two fouls. The Alumni then drew 
ahead and had the commanding lead of 11 to 5 a few minutes before the half 
ended, but two baskets by Rice and one by McCorkle tied up the count and 
McCorkle put the High School ahead for the first time in the game by tossing 
a foul just as the whistle blew. Score, first half, H. S. 12; Alumni 11. 

At the start of the second half, the Alumni shot three baskets in a row 
and took the lead at 17 to 12. But the undergrads soon tied it up and went

into the lead and were never again headed. 'The work of Rice, McCorkle,

Runchey and Wallace featured. Rice scored 10 points for Saginaw, while 
Runchey furnished the spectacular with a basket from the middle of the 
floor, All the candidates were given a chance to show what they were made 
of in this game, and some of the players seem to be real finds. The work of 
Baumgarten, Runchey, and Behse at guard, was responsible for the low score 
of the opponents. For the Alumni, Meibeyer, Steckert, Miller, and Johnson
